Gear Review: SunJack Waterproof Lightstick
For the technically inclined, the output is 5V 2Amp and the maximum output wattage is 3.5W.
Practical Uses for the SunJack Lightstick
Given its slim profile, the SUNJACK CAMPLIGHT is ideal for bug out bags, get home kits, and vehicle emergency kits. I find that it fits neatly in my pack, right along side a LifeStraw which is are similar in size.
At the full power setting, and even at low and medium power, this is a very bright light. Impressive, actually, given its compact form factor.
If kept in a vehicle, it can be used as a trouble light when checking under the hood or as a spot of bright light when changing a tire. It can also be used as a flashing signal requesting help if stranded by the roadway. It would definitely light up a campsite at night with the added advantage that it can be charged with a portable solar panel during the day while not in use.
Another practical use is to use it as a beacon when traveling with a group. The leader can raise it above his or head in strobe mode to signal to the pack of followers. Being totally waterproof, using the Lightstick out in the bush or on the trails would be no problem at all.
Speaking of waterproof, I took the SunJack Lightstick down to the shoreline and set it afloat in salt water. I left the light on. The only problem I had is that it started to float away! My fault totally but the good news is that it floats, making it difficult to lose if suddenly tossed in the water during a flood or storm.
